Arizona Rent Increase Law
Arizona has no statute setting a rent-increase notice period, so increases follow the lease; for a month-to-month tenancy, give written notice at least 30 days before the periodic rental date, mirroring the termination rule (A.R.S. §§ 33-1314(A), 33-1375(B)). Arizona has no rent control and bars cities and counties from adopting it.
